Description

Pancake cooker with heat deformation-resistant pancake plate {Electric pancake cooker}

The present invention relates to a frying machine equipped with a heat deformation-resistant pancake plate. More specifically, in the pancake machine, the cooking zones of the pancake plate are operated separately and the precise cooking heat for each distinct pancake zone is measured in real time to enable pancake cooking. Efficiency is increased, and even if the cooking temperature is raised to a high temperature, the temperature of each frying zone is quickly and balanced to cook high-temperature pancakes stably and quickly, and cooking performance is improved by maintaining the cooking temperature even when additional food is added. It is a technique to do. In addition, it is a technology related to the frying machine that prevents thermal deformation of the frying plate such as bending or twisting by preventing rapid heat conduction of the frying plate and thermal temperature differences between zones.

Generally, a pancake machine is a device in which cooking is performed on a heated pancake plate.

The pancake as described above consists of a pancake plate provided on the upper part of the pancake frame and a heating means provided at the lower part of the pancake frame to heat the pancake plate so that it can be cooked.

This pancake machine generally consists of a gas heating means consisting of a gas burner provided at the bottom of the pancake plate. After heating the pancake plate by the gas heating means, oil is applied to the top of the pancake plate, and then the food is spread on the pancake plate and cooked. is accomplished.

However, in the conventional pancake as described above, cooking is performed using a gas burner, and in the conventional pancake that heats the pancake plate with a gas burner, it is difficult to control the temperature through the gas burner, and it is difficult to distinguish the gas burner by zone, making cooking difficult. There was a problem in that the efficiency of pancake cooking decreased as it was done based on the cook's intuition. In addition, the conventional gas burner pancake is harmful to the human body during the cooking process and has a risk of gas accidents, and there is a problem in that maintenance and management of the gas burner is not easy.

Instead of this conventional gas heating frying machine, a frying machine using the same electric heating means has been disclosed.

A pancake cooker using a conventional electric heating means cooks by attaching an electric coil to the bottom of the pan. In a conventional pancake with an electric coil attached, cooking is done due to a large temperature difference between the contact area and the non-contact area of the coil on the pancake plate. There was a problem that the heat was concentrated only on the coil contact area, causing the food to burn or stick.

Moreover, the conventional electric heating pan fryer is equipped with a temperature sensor on one side of the pan of the pan, so there is a temperature difference between the temperature of the cooking area where cooking is performed and the measurement area where the temperature is measured, resulting in inconsistency in recognition of the cooking temperature. There were cases where it was undercooked or overcooked. In particular, the lack of temperature information for each zone is such that the higher the cooking heat of the pan, the more the discrepancy in the temperature information of the actual cooking area becomes more severe. As a result, when pancakes are made at high temperatures, one area is overheated due to the imbalance of temperature in each pantry area. There was a difficulty in creating an unbalanced cooking situation in which cooking (cooking water was burning) occurred while other areas were insufficiently cooking (cooking water was undercooked). In particular, in high-temperature pancake cooking, when additional food is added during the cooking process, the temperature of the pancake plate at the location where the food was put in drops rapidly due to the cold temperature of the food. However, conventional pancake machines do not recognize this real-time temperature information, so the temperature of the pancake plate is kept at a constant temperature. There was a problem in that cooking time was added to recover the cooking temperature, thus increasing the cooking process.

In addition, when operating with multiple electric heaters, it is difficult to obtain information on the temperature of each section of the pan, so if only a portion of the electric heater is operated, the area of the operated electric heater and the area of the non-operated electric heater are separated. There was also a problem that the temperatures of the frying plates were formed differently, and if this temperature difference was severe, thermal deformation of the frying plates occurred due to a large temperature difference between zones.

Furthermore, a conventional electric heater frying machine is equipped with an electric heater coil that directly touches the frying plate. When the frying machine is operated, high heat is transferred directly to the electric heater coil to the frying plate, and this direct heat transfer causes rapid heating of the frying plate when the frying plate is cold. There was a problem that thermal deformation of the pancake plate, such as bending or twisting of the pancake plate, occurred.

It improves the efficiency of pan-fried cooking, and even when the cooking temperature is raised to a high temperature, the temperature of the pan is raised in a balanced manner, enabling stable and rapid cooking. Furthermore, it quickly responds to the problem of temperature drop due to the addition of additional food during high-temperature cooking. The purpose is to precisely control the cooking heat through real-time recognition of the temperature of the cooking area and control of the output of the electric heater. Furthermore, the task is to prevent thermal deformation of the pancake plate of the pancake machine and facilitate the management of the pancake machine.

We provide a pancake machine equipped with a thermal deformation-resistant pancake plate consisting of a module handle and an elastically immersed temperature sensor that measures temperature through elastic protruding contact.

According to the technology of the present invention, which is based on a unique solution to solve the above technical problems, a plurality of heating modules are provided with a temperature sensor that is elastically immersed in each heating module to heat the pan, so that the temperature of the heating module is The sensor accurately recognizes real-time temperature information for each section of the pancake, and further controls the temperature difference between cooking zones by adjusting the output of the heating element, which has the effect of greatly improving the efficiency of pancake cooking.

In addition, even if the cooking temperature on the pan is raised to a high temperature, the temperature sensor in the module case at the bottom of the pan in each zone detects the real-time temperature in each zone and adjusts it to quickly balance the temperature in each pan. It ensures stable pancake cooking, and even when additional food is added during high-temperature cooking, the temperature sensor in the pancake area quickly recognizes the temperature drop due to cold additional food in real time, and the control unit suddenly activates the heating element to compensate for this, lowering the cooking temperature. It has the effect of improving cooking performance by quickly recovering the oil and preventing an increase in cooking time by reducing the response time to temperature changes.

In addition, by utilizing the temperature information differentiated by zone, the temperature difference between zones is reduced to prevent thermal deformation of the frying plate due to the temperature difference between the frying plate, and furthermore, the plate lift creates a heat deformation absorption gap between the frying plate and the heating module. It is effective in preventing thermal deformation of the pan by preventing rapid heating. Furthermore, the heating module is separated by sliding sections, making it easy to manage the device. When the heating module is separated, the plate lift is used to move the pan apart, thereby disconnecting the temperature sensor of the heating module, making separation of the heating module more convenient. there is.
